[^1]\n\nSenator Cristina Ruíz Sandoval of the PRI party presented an initiative in the Mexican Senate to amend the Federal Labor Law (LFT) to establish mandatory temporary paid leave for employees caring for family members with disabilities or chronic illnesses. [^2]\n\nCristina Ruíz Sandoval said the reform is congruent with a rights-based view of care and shared responsibility, and that it protects family income while favoring labor continuity. [^3]\n\nThe proposal is still pending evaluation; if approved by both chambers of Mexico's Congress, it would take effect the day after publication in the Diario Oficial de la Federación. [^4]\n\nThe reform proposal would add article 68-A and fraction XXXIV of article 132 to Mexico's Federal Labor Law, making the permit a new employer obligation. [^5]\n\nThe initiative aims to make the granting of such leave an obligation for employers rather than a matter of internal company policy. [^6]\n\nThe proposed reform seeks to add Article 68-A and modify Article 132, fraction XXXIV, of the Federal Labor Law to regulate temporary absences during work hours.
